If I sit there and execute it repeatedly straight after it finishes, then
the same behaviour is observed. I used dvbtune (and the scan_uk script) a
number of months ago when I initially got my system setup and it worked
fine, picked up all the correct data from all the 6 transponders. It was
also working fine when the parameters of 4 of the uk transponders
changed. However, since then i've updated the driver a large number of
times, and updated dvbtune to the most recent version, however, like I
said, it used to work fine with no problems at all.

I s'pose this would explain why the problem is occuring, but not why it
used to work fine and doesn't now.
